Eureka Entertainment brings the rarely-seen Jimmy Wang Yu action thriller A MAN CALLED TIGER (1973) to Blu-ray, looking great and loaded with extras. Originally set to be the third collaboration with director Lo Wei and star Bruce Lee, this film follows a street brawler (Wang Yu) working his way up the ladder of a Yakuza gang in Japan to find out the truth about his father's murder. Some fantastic fights and period trappings, and more musical numbers than you'd expect.

  I've long been curious about the films one-and-done James Bond actor George Lazenby did in Hong Kong in the early-mid 1970s, so I was thrilled to get the new Eureka Entertainment Blu-ray of A QUEEN'S RANSOM (1976), his final film made in that country. More a heist/thriller than a martial arts film, it features Lazenby as an IRA agent assembling a gang of criminals and assassins to take out Queen Elizabeth (and not on a date) during a royal visit to Hong Kong. More in line with BLACK SUNDAY than ENTER THE DRAGON, though it does co-star Angela Mao and Bolo Yeung from that Bruce Lee classic, along with Jimmy Wang Yu and, unbeknownst to her, Queen Elizabeth II! Gorgeous transfer and some fun extras make it worth a pick-up, even if it's less wall-to-wall action and more plotting than you might expect.
